Sport Architecture: Design Construction Management of Sport Infrastructure
The history of civilisation and places conveys the importance of the role the culture of sport and a cultivated management of leisure play in the definition of the identity of peoples and communities. Elevating such realms to the status of cultural assets to be shared and enhanced by analysing the dynamics of transformation of the city and territory related to them is a sensible, necessary and ethical correct action. The context of European architecture shows an increasing number of plans that both transform existing facilities and create new ones with a defining and strategic role in the development of urban landscape fabrics.
Activating basic and permanent theoretical discussion is a fundamental and strategic action for the credibility and professional values of a sector that powerfully conveys the need to update and retrain its technical, executive and managerial personnel through a renewed cultural approach. The goal of this book is promoting awareness about the design enhancement of sport infrastructures as collective assets capable of developing identity and citizenship, through the analysis of both physical immaterial factors and of the personnel charged with their conception, construction and management. Within contemporary architecture, the design of facilities for sport practises provides and extraordinary opportunity for the the adaptation and strategic reevaluation of the environment and its paradigmatic places.
At the same time, sport infrastructures provide a crucial opportunity for architectural, design and technological experimentation - exploring their core features and enhance their potential is the main goal of this book.
Hybrid Food Retail
Online shopping and changing consumer demands radically transform the food retail industry for the first time since the introduction of the supermarket in the 1930s. After decades of stagnation, food retail is currently one of most creative fields for designers, architects and other professionals developing new formats like bio food markets, `to go' outlets and pop ups. This handbook prescribes hybridization - a fusion of supermarket and gastronomy, co-working, hospitalityor performative formats - as a powerful remedy against the digital disruption.
As a result of a 3-year research with 60 students of retail design at PBSA Dusseldorf and for the first time in this field, Hybrid Food Retail offers an overview of the history, an encyclopaedic analysis of the elements and highlights the emerging trends in the food retail industry.
Fringe Shifts: Transforming Planning for New Suburban Habitats
The fringe is the contemporary city "in-between space," in which urban and periurban features interweave. In European cities, this transitional belt often matches with the Post World War II expansion. Nowadays, the urban fringe, generally in decline, offers huge changes for regeneration. For this aim, innovative planning tools are required, more flexible and adaptive than the traditional blue-print based. The book collects the ongoing experiments focused on innovative planning modes, carried out in some European cities within the urbact III network "suburban reinventing the fringe."

The Death and Life of Great American Cities
In this classic text, Jane Jacobs set out to produce an attack on current city planning and rebuilding and to introduce new principles by which these should be governed. The result is one of the most stimulating books on cities ever written.
Throughout the post-war period, planners temperamentally unsympathetic to cities have been let loose on our urban environment. Inspired by the ideals of the Garden City or Le Corbusier's Radiant City, they have dreamt up ambitious projects based on self-contained neighbourhoods, super-blocks, rigid 'scientific' plans and endless acres of grass. Yet they seldom stop to look at what actually works on the ground.
The real vitality of cities, argues Jacobs, lies in their diversity, architectural variety, teeming street life and human scale. It is only when we appreciate such fundamental realities that we can hope to create cities that are safe, interesting and economically viable, as well as places that people want to live in.
Bricks Now & Then
Bricks are the only non-natural building material that can look back at several thousand years of history. And as Mies van der Rhohe stated: "Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins". Buildings made of this fabric from very different epochs and cultures all over the world are always astonishing, and the world's best architects have explored the qualities of brickwork. A key characteristic for its success since time immemorial has always been easy planning through the standardization of production and the resulting harmonized construction process. Amazing constructive qualities, inexpensive and at the same time environmentally friendly production as well as the longevity are among the qualities that are particularly valued today. In this volume, historical and contemporary brick edifices are featured showing the wide range of possible applications and design possibilities.

Příběhy slavných vil renesančního Říma
Vyprávění o římských vilách z období renesance a raného baroka je pojato nejen jako zasvěcený průvodce architektonickými a výtvarnými skvosty 15. a 16. století, ale čtivou formou uvádí čtenáře do obecně kulturních a politických dějin, které předurčily moderní Evropu. Vzhledem k tomu, že zachycené vily si nechali stavět papežové či vysocí funkcionáři jejich dvorů, jde o pohled z perspektivy centra tehdejšího světa. Kniha zachybuje proměny společnosti, odhaluje, jak se renesanční životní styl vycházející ze znovuobjevené antiky, propojený s kultem přírody a rozvinutím lidské přirozenosti, postupně proměňoval směrem k barokní exaltovanosti a zbožnosti. Text je bohatě prokládán fotografickou dokumentací. Výkladem alegoricko-symbolického významu výzdoby vil poutavě zasvěcuje do renesančního myšlení.
We Build Drawings
`Architects do not actually build buildings,' says Mikkel Frost, co-founder of Danish architecture firm CEBRA. `What we build is an idea. To visualize it, we build drawings.' The evolutionary process of how aphorisms develop into precise architectural concepts is illustrated through a collection of Frost's sketches and watercolours.
Over 200 drawings are organized into 20 sections, each relating to one of CEBRA's projects. An index containing c olour photographs and renders of their works further illuminates how the drawings are translated into reality. Introducing the book, a written version of Frost's TEDx talk Let your fingers do the talking elaborates on the book's impetus: to bring a spotlight to the craft of drawing as a powerful tool for creation and communication.
The Whole World a Bauhaus
This publication, accompanying the worldwide exhibition series, takes the quotation of the former Bauhaus student and subsequent university teacher Fritz Kuhr as a starting point for reflections on the Bauhaus; not only as a school in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, but also in order to focus on the parallel Modernist movements in non-European regions.
This volume explains in hitherto unknown depth the Bauhaus and its multi-faceted forms of expression, which extended far beyond the Constructivist language of the 1920s. Case studies from Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Santiago de Chile, Moscow, the USA and elsewhere show that the Bauhaus was not an exclusive undertaking of the modern age. Avant-gardes in many regions of the world examined the Bauhaus from their own point of view and integrated it into their discourses. In this way the Bauhaus became a global motor for new developments in society, culture and politics.
Postmodern Architecture
A curated collection of Postmodern architecture in all its glorious array of vivid non-conformity
This unprecedented book takes its subtitle from Postmodernist icon Robert Venturi's spirited response to Mies van der Rohe's dictum that 'less is more'. One of the 20th century's most controversial styles, Postmodernism began in the 1970s, reached a fever pitch of eclectic non-conformity in the 1980s and 90s, and after nearly 40 years is now enjoying a newfound popularity. Postmodern Architecture showcases examples of the movement in a rainbow of hues and forms from around the globe.
